Outdoor figurative sculptures have long captivated audiences with their grandeur, symbolism, and artistic brilliance. Among the most renowned is *The Statue of Liberty* in New York, a universal symbol of freedom and democracy. Another iconic masterpiece is *Christ the Redeemer* in Rio de Janeiro, towering over the city with its outstretched arms.
In Copenhagen, *The Little Mermaid* sits gracefully by the harbor, inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale. Meanwhile, Brussels’ *Manneken Pis*, though small, is one of the most famous bronze statues worldwide.
Michelangelo’s *David* replica in Florence’s Piazza della Signoria and Auguste Rodin’s *The Thinker*, displayed in various outdoor locations, are celebrated for their intricate detail and emotional depth.
Modern works like Chicago’s *Cloud Gate* (the "Bean") and Oslo’s *The Angry Boy* also showcase the evolving nature of figurative public art. These sculptures not only beautify urban spaces but also tell stories, provoke thought, and connect cultures across generations.
